M30 swap soon to be gt42 powered!!!!

Hey guys wanted to post up some swapped e30 pic's. If things go well and i sell my supra im planning on installing a gt4294 turbo on it and making around 400-500 whp with it.
Started like this. No engine , wheels, hood, etc...
Ended up swapping a 1984 733i power plant. during the install i added a set of stahl headers.



Now



Dyno dynamic's numbers



It did 150whp on a dynojet the next day. the car had has loud valves and leans out up top to 14.5 afr. Im hoping that i can use a ecu from a 1987 535is and chip it to help out the low power????

Anyhow... Hi

Bought BMWBradford's project. Still needs to be wired up, engine mounts done and driveshaft. Have lots of questions but will do my best to do searches before asking noob questions.

Car used to be Miller Performances first signature car. They took it apart years ago and never got around to putting it back together. Since then it has been passed around in the local B.C. Bimmer community.

The drivetrain in the pictures is long gone as is the rims and 5 lug discs. Body is still in pretty good shape. Just want to get it running then slowly add performance parts. Z3 steering rack, Miller Performance W.A.R chip and exhaust and uprated sway bars and bushings.

Don't know what will put the bigger grin on my face. The first start up or the first time I fill the rear wheel wells with tire smoke , on a controlled race track of course!!!!:D

Does anyone know if I'd be better keeping the stock M30 airbox or if I should go with a custom cold air intake? The cold air has a metal barrier custom built for it to keep as much hot air away as possible but the more I read the more I wonder..

Thanks

[LowR3V'in]

Keep the stock box.

Get the trumpet off a e34 or something like this.
